| Anglican clergyman and archbishop, born in East Acholi, N Uganda. He became a teacher, was converted to Christianity in 1948, and ordained in the Anglican Church. He was theological college principal and Bishop of Northern Uganda, before election in 1974 as Archbishop of Uganda, where in 1971 Idi Amin had established a reign of terror. He spoke out fearlessly on behalf of victims and the oppressed, and at Amin's instigation (some say by his hand) he was shot dead, and Anglicans in Kampala were forbidden to hold a memorial service for him. |
